Daly resigns from fair board
Charlie Daly, who has been in
volved with the Morrow County Fair
and Rodeo for the past 32 years, has
resigned from the Fair Board, effec
tive June 1.
Daly’s resignation is in the wake
o f a proposed renovation o f the
fairgrounds. The county has adver
tised for bids on a “ comprehensive
development plan for the fairgrounds
and athletic fields."
“ It’s a dangerous precedent when
county officials start running the fair
board," said Daly. “ There are state
statutes to keep county politics out
o f the fairs.”
The county’s invitation to bid on
a development plan would include
‘ ‘p ossib le location o f future
buildings, roads, restrooms, conces
sion stands, parking and amusements
associated with fair activities."
“ In addition," says the county
notice, “ portions o f the fair grounds
are dedicated to athletic events such
as football, baseball, track and field
and rodeo activities. Reconfiguration
o f these existing areas will be
necessary along with the supporting
utilities. The Development Plan will
include five construction phases
along with estimated cost for each
phase. ” Bids were to be closed May
9.
But, Daly says, “ there’s no way
they could ever finance that." He
maintains the master plan is a waste
o f taxpayers’ money.
Judge Louis Carlson, however,
says that the county needs a master
plan in response to a request from
the public to renovate the sports
area, including the lighting system
used primarily for football games.
He says that the county is not in
terested
in
m anaging
the
fairgrounds
The fair board has received an
estimate o f $20.000 to install new
lights for the football field and
shorten the light poles from 80 to 54
feet.
Daly says that he feels that peo
ple already employed by the county
have enough expertise to develop a
plan for fairgrounds improvements
and that money for the plan would
be better spent on the lighting
system.
Concerning his resignation from
the board. Daly said that because of
his busy schedule he doesn’t feel he
could dedicate the time required to
hold a board position.
Daly, 60, has been on the board
since 1978. He began his involve
ment on the fair committee in 1958.
During his tenure Daly says the
board has installed fences, new
grandstands and a metal shed. Daly
also served as the fair director for the
State Fairs Association.
“ It’s time for someone new to
come on," he said. “ I wish them all
good luck."
Other fair board members are
Richard Ladd, Merlyn Robinson,
Harold Peck and Rob Meacham.

student.
In this city, far from his home, he
slips into the self-destructive drug
culture, but is encountered by a
single, caring person a person of
deep faith. The person, Rajam
Prasad, found a way to share
Christ’s message of love, hope and
forgiveness in a way that Tim could
not ignore.
Billy Graham said, “ Caught' is
certainly the most outstanding film
yet produced by World Wide Pic
